Abstract

The article "Gender and age as variables in marriages in Albania during the transition" analyzes the dynamics and impact of gender and age in marriages in Albania after the 1990's until today. The political, economic and social changes that took place in Albania after 1990 have had and continue to have a significant impact in typologies and FENOMENOLOGJINË of marriages and in the role and functions of the Albanian family. The marriage age for women is increasing, mainly for the same reasons that the marriage age for men is increasing. The age difference between women and men is increasing in correlation with the process of urbanization, social development, social emancipation as well as the contact with other cultures and communities. The age difference between spouses is inversely correlated with their level of education. The establishment of marriages and the creation of families have changed, therefore there is a need for changes in the social, gender and health policies of the country.
